    OpenTaxSolver (OTS) has been updated with improvements and additions
    provided by several users. In particular, a Massachusetts state tax
    version has been added and quick-links to official tax forms.
    Documentation and the latest releases can be found at:

     Homepage- http://opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net/
     Project- https://sourceforge.net/projects/opentaxsolver/

    (You can also search for "taxes" under freshmeat.net or
    sourceforge.net.)

    OTS is a free open source project providing software to help
    individuals prepare annual income tax forms. Built on a common C
    package for conveniently describing tax forms, OTS has versions for US
    Federal Taxes and several State Tax forms. Forms for other countries
    are planned.

    OTS is licensed under GPL and you do not have to be a programmer to
    use it. It is portable to all platforms, and is especially useful
    with Adobe PDF fill-in forms for mail-in filing. Although it may not
    be suited for everyone, OTS provides choice and advantages for those
    who has done their taxes by hand.

    Presently OTS covers the US Federal 1040 form, with Schedules A, B, C,
    and D for itemized, interest/dividends, business taxes,
    capital-gains/losses, and AMT calculations, all for 2003 tax year.
    Cases for single, married filing joint or separate, and head of
    household are handled. State Tax versions are available for
    California, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina, and
    Massachusetts.
